You might be correct about it's importance down the road. But that is another contract away. Point taken about the reduction in retirement income.. that is probably fairly true.... buuuut. I still don't like the idea of it. If there is some kind of deal, those dudes need to be gone to get it. No hanging around collecting paychecks while being "retired". GONE.. then maybe I'll be interested.
We had a PERP at DAL before. It was to get rid of the pre 72 guys if memory serves correctly. The only thing I DO remember about it is that they got the money, and were allowed to hang around until their replacements were trained.. care to guess how long that took??

The PERP program for the pre-72 guys was in the 90's. It was supposed to be for 500 guys but the company let more than that take it. I believe it was something like 578 but am not sure. They did not hang around in the PRP program and get any money. I flew a couple of retirement trips with these guys.
The PRP (post-retirement pilot) program
was a result of the exodus of guys prior to bankruptcy.Denny
Oh, by the way, HOW 'BOUT THEM SEAHAWKS!! Oh, and Holiday Bowl winners Washington Huskies!!

Yeah I didn't remember all the particulars... I'm pretty sure that there were some of them that signed on to the program early, but didn't leave for quite awhile.... or at least it seemed that way... If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time... Anyway, thanks for the edification. I still wouldn't want to go down that road unless there was some sort of iron clad way to get them out the door.. and wordsmiths always can find a way around any contract language... it's what they do.
I'm glad we finally don't have to hear about Katrina and the dog killer anymore...
Now if we can get rid of the Brady bunch it'll all be good.

So, flew one of the few flights that arrived in ATL tonight after 10 PM. Would like to go home but bus to parking lot is no longer running due to cars out of control in the CC lot and snow/ice on CC pkwy. What a fine fix this is.
